Citi Premier Card - Velocity offer

Ended — kept for reference

This page is my best effort to summarise the card's terms from the information I found. Read the bank's terms for full details, or contact the bank if you have questions.

I'd like to use my bonus for:

Can I get this?

This offer is advertised to the public. Bonus conditions and the bank’s approval requirements still apply.

Can I get this bonus if I have held a card before?

I have not checked the waiting period for this bonus.

See the waiting rules for every Australian bank →

What must I spend?

$8,000 within 90 days — about $2,667 per month.

Can I get the card?

The minimum credit limit is $10,000. This is the least the bank may let you borrow.

I do not have a minimum income for this card.

Meeting the bonus rules does not mean the bank will approve your application. The bank must assess and approve the card separately.

How long is this available?

The listed end date has passed: 31 October 2024. Date comparison uses the Australia/Sydney calendar. The issuer’s closing time and timezone are not recorded. Check availability with the issuer.

in Woolworths gift cards, $540 total, with 1,400 points remaining.

in Coles gift cards, $500 total, with 9,800 points remaining.

Should I keep it after the first year?

Keeping the card costs $300 each year ($300 annual fee) — the first year was $300.

There is no bonus in year two. The fee buys points on your spending, plus the card's perks.

Ongoing earn: 0.50x Velocity points per $1.

Keeping pays off only if the ongoing earn and benefits are worth $300/yr to you.

The maths behind churn value

$540 in Woolworths gift cards (112,600 of 114,000 Velocity points; 1,400 left over) − $300 card fee. Assumes you earn the bonus and pay in full; extra spend or interest changes the outcome.

This offer has ended. I keep this page so you can check the old terms.

What this calculation assumes
  • You make the required purchases and the bonus is paid.
  • You pay the balance in full — any interest changes the outcome.
  • The required spend is ordinary planned spending, not extra cost.
  • You close the card before the next annual fee, or you decide keeping it is worth that fee.
  • Gift card prices can change. I check them again at renewal time.
